Nashville Symphony Social Story SOCIAL STORY I’m going to the Nashville Symphony! When I arrive: Lots of people go to the Symphony. When I arrive, there will be lots of excited people and it might be noisy. People may be talking and it may get loud. It is okay. If it gets too noisy for me, there are quiet spaces where my family can take me. We might need to get our tickets from the box office. In the lobby: There might be different activities in the lobby. My family will show me the different fun activities I can do. There might be some musical instruments I can see and even touch. Other people will want to touch the instruments too. I will share and let others touch the instruments too. If the people in the lobby become too loud, I can go to a quiet space. After I have seen the instruments and activities, I will be ready to find my seat. I might need to go to the bathroom, and my family can take me there before we go to our seats. When I’m ready to find my seat: My family will have my ticket and then we will walk to the door that goes to our seat. This door leads to a new room, which might be a little bit darker. This is okay. I can hold a family member’s hand when I walk toward my seat. My family will give our tickets to the usher at the doorway, and they will help us to our seats. If I have any questions about my seat, I can ask the usher. The usher knows about the concert hall. There will be lots of excited people in the hall waiting to hear the music with me. This is okay. In my seat: The musicians like to have a quiet room too. I will try to be considerate of the musicians when they are performing. Before the concert starts, there will be a lot of musicians and instruments on the stage, and it will be noisy. This is okay. My family can take me to a quiet space if I need a break. When the musicians are ready, the concertmaster will help them tune their instruments. After the instruments are in tune, the concert will begin. The concert begins: The conductor will walk on the stage, and a lot of people will start clapping for the conductor. There may even be people cheering and excited for the music to begin. If I’m excited to see the concert, I can clap and cheer too. After the clapping is over, the concert will begin. When the concert begins, I will try to be quiet and considerate for the musicians. The orchestra makes music: The same instruments I saw in the lobby will be on the stage, and they will be playing music for me. The music might have some loud moments, and it might have quieter moments. Hearing music is exciting, and I might get excited. I will try to be quiet during the show. If the music is too loud, my family can take me to a quiet space. If I need to go to the bathroom, my family can take me to the bathroom. The orchestra might play music I have heard before. It’s exciting to hear music I know, but I will try to stay quiet while the orchestra is playing. There might be a guest artist who will sing or play with the orchestra. I can clap for the artist when they walk on the stage. The orchestra will play a few pieces of music. The conductor faces me: During the concert, the conductor faces the orchestra. When the conductor puts his or her arms down and turns around, the audience will clap. I can clap too and show the musicians how much I liked the music. The conductor might leave the stage while people are clapping. As I get ready to leave: When the concert ends, my family and I will be ready to leave. Everyone will be leaving together and heading toward the same door we entered to go to our seats. I will walk slowly and wait my turn to exit the doors. I can tell my family what I liked about the orchestra as we are leaving. .

Bit scary and I would say a number of you may have to go through beginner lessons again and also wear name tags lol. On the 9th of May the national association had their AGM with a number of clubs from throughout New Zealand that were involved. First time ever we had to run the meeting through zoom so talking to 40 odd people from around the country was quite weird but it worked. A number of remits were discussed and voted on with a collection of changes mostly good but a few I didn’t agree with but you all can see it all on the association website if you are interested in looking . Also senior and junior nationals were voted on where they should be hosted and that is also advertised on their website. Juniors next year will be in Porirua and Seniors will be in Wanganui.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • Contentious Comedy
    1 Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era Thesis by Lisa E. Williamson Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Glasgow Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies 2008 (Submitted May 2008) © Lisa E. Williamson 2008 2 Abstract Contentious Comedy: Negotiating Issues of Form, Content, and Representation in American Sitcoms of the Post-Network Era This thesis explores the way in which the institutional changes that have occurred within the post-network era of American television have impacted on the situation comedy in terms of form, content, and representation. This thesis argues that as one of television’s most durable genres, the sitcom must be understood as a dynamic form that develops over time in response to changing social, cultural, and institutional circumstances. By providing detailed case studies of the sitcom output of competing broadcast, pay-cable, and niche networks, this research provides an examination of the form that takes into account both the historical context in which it is situated as well as the processes and practices that are unique to television. In addition to drawing on existing academic theory, the primary sources utilised within this thesis include journalistic articles, interviews, and critical reviews, as well as supplementary materials such as DVD commentaries and programme websites. This is presented in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of the textual features of a number of individual programmes. By providing an examination of the various production and scheduling strategies that have been implemented within the post-network era, this research considers how differentiation has become key within the multichannel marketplace.

  • History of the Glen Family of South Carolina and Georgia
    A History of The Glen Family of South Carolina and Georgia BY J.G.B.BULLOCH,M.U November 1923. PREFACE In writing this history of the Glen family, the author is much indebted to the researches of Thomas Allen Glenn, Esq., through whose efforts so much has been gleaned of the family who were descended from the ancient feudal Barons of Ren­ frew, Scotland. Many thanks are also due to my friend Doctor Arthur Adams of Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, who has rendered such invaluable aid to me. Some of the family went from Scotland to Ireland, thence to Pennsylvania and some settled in Delaware, while another branch went from Linlithgow and settled in South Carolina. William Glen may have gone from Linlithgow via Pennsyl­ vania, but, at any rate we find him in South Carolina as early as 1738. His younger son, John Glen, went to Georgia before 1776, and rose to be an important man in that colony. Some years ago my cousin, Mrs. Edwin R. Warrington, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sent me a history of the Glens of Scotland, part of which is herein included, and it was published in my history of "the Bulloch Family and Connections." Since that time the author has had access to a valuable contribution by Thomas Allen Glenn, of the Glens, published in the Penn­ sylvania Magazine of History and Biography, which I have freely consulted and from which I have taken much of that relating to the earlier history of the Glens, of Scotland. The services rendered by the Glens both in Scotland and in America to the country, show that they have occupied posi­ tions of importance.

I will ensure my child misses ATTENDANCE no more than ___ for the rest of the year. (9 or fewer absences = satisfactory attendance) SUCCESS PLAN POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO REACH MY CHILD’S ATTENDANCE GOALS I will talk to my child about how going to school every day will help them do well in school and achieve their hopes and dreams I will keep an attendance chart at home. At the end of the week, I will recognize my child for attending school every day with . (i.e. a visit to the park, a new book, a break from doing chores, a special treat) I will make sure my child is in bed by p.m. and the alarm clock is set for a.m. If my child complains of a stomachache or headache, and medical concerns have been ruled out, I will send him/her to school anyway and call so that he/she can check in with my child during the day. If my child has a cold but no fever (less than 100 degrees), I will send him/her to school anyway. If I don’t have a thermometer, I will purchase or borrow one. I will find a relative, friend or neighbor who can take my child to school if I can’t make it. If my child is absent, I will contact his/her teacher to find out what he/she missed.

  • THE ROCK and ROLL DIARY of a JAZZ FAN by John Clare ______
    WITNESSES OF THE THIRD COMING: THE ROCK AND ROLL DIARY OF A JAZZ FAN by John Clare _______________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the first edition of the magazine Extempore, November, 2008, where Miriam Zolin was managing editor.] 1. Antebellum Here is some contrary motion. Before rock and roll became rock—before the advent of the intellectual rock writer—this was the music of working class youth. It was soon the universal teenage music, as swing had been the universal youth music in another era; but it had that rebel cachet, and of course it carne directly from black and hillbilly minorities. Barely in advance of the rock and roll era, my family moved from Sydney to a company house in a leafy Essendon street replete with box hedges, and we became middle class overnight. My father, after much hard post war grind, had been sent to manage a cardboard carton factory in North Melbourne. John Clare: No sooner did his family become middle class, after a move to Melbourne, than he became a juvenile delinquent… I never really adjusted to this southward but upward movement. No sooner did we become middle class than I became a juvenile delinquent. By 1955 I had run away from home, stolen three cars in a hungry race to places where there might be work—unlikely as it was that a 14-year-old appearing down the road from nowhere would be employed—and finally rolled an FJ Holden ute down a hillside near Queenbeyan, where I went to jail, awaiting the juvenile court. 1 This shook me up, and I was desperate to atone for the distress visited on my parents.
